2005 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E55 AMG 4dr Sedan (5.4L 8cyl S/C 5A)

Review

When I bought this car I knew it was very powerful as the dealer gave me the keys to a demo and myself and my thirty year old son went for a test drive. The power the car has is unreal. It takes off like no other. It gives you a feel of pleasure and is actually much safer than a car that is much slower as it allows you to get out of the way of others in defensive driving and gives you great confidence by the way it handles. I drive a canyon fifteen miles each way everyday and love the way it handles. Don't get me wrong I am not a speed demon buy why would you want to spend an extra twenty thousand on a car when you can buy the E500. Its a great car and I recommend it highly

Favorite Features

Love the automatic trunk closing device. The transmission shifting is great and gives you different choices for shifting. The Air ride select is good for handling. The CD is outstanding and the quality is above average almost excellent. Great car many features I didn't get as they werent on the car.

Suggested Improvements

It would be nice to have more identifying labels on the car to indicate e55.
